“The front porch is very tranquil, especially with the koi pond waterfall out there. Sitting there in the morning sipping coffee is peaceful and priceless. The backyard and pool are breathtaking and are what attracted us the most when we bought. We’ve hosted countless parties of 100-plus out there, from a rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding to my husband’s surprise retirement party to my daughter Felicity’s high school graduation. In the spring and summer, we have a hot tub on the deck. There’s also a very large vegetable garden in the yard. . . . The kitchen is bright, sunny and cheerful. We updated it with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops in 2015. We also put in an airtight wood-burning fireplace in the family room. We spend a lot of time in there. My elliptical is there and the little ones’ toys. . . . We’ve always been very diligent with the upkeep of this home. It’s very comfortable, and the rooms are all very generous in size. The neighborhood is very welcoming and friendly.”
